Linc: I do plan to mount the battery on the side like a flux.

I agree..I don't have a Stampede 4x4 but I think this will be a tank compared to it. Thanks for the suggestion about the pivot balls


Mamba and Brainator: It is is thick and stout..but that's what I'm shooting for. I need this thing to survive..insane bashing


Would you guys by opposed to the idea of this being a dual battery (4s) car instead of a single 3s battery truck? Thinking possibly a Mamba 2650 or 2400 on 4s in this..?

I personally have always been not so fond of dual battery set-ups..as you have to buy more batteries and have to charge more..I have a charger that can charge two batteries at the same time..and I already have the batteries..plus I think this thing would be insane on 4s. The other thing is that it would make mounting the motor a lot easier....

So I need your opinions...? Dual battery (4s) or single 3s?
